One eagle, and no hawk
No emoji is a hawk, a falcon or a vulture, and CLDR, Unicode's search word list, files nothing under hawk, falcon, raptor or talon. Eagle has four words: animal, bird, eagle and ornithology. Bald goes to four people and soar to the wing and the kite, so the tiles carry search words of their own: bald finds the Bald eagle combo.
Flags, and what arrives as sent
Each flag is two regional indicator letters, M and X for Mexico, and all ten carry Emoji 2.0. A system with no picture for a flag may show the letters instead, which Unicode's emoji standard allows. Phoenix, from Emoji 15.1, is the newest single emoji here.
